The Best Onion Rings on the Planet are in Arnaudville

There are great places to eat at every turn in Acadiana. From small towns like Arnaudville to bigger cities like Lafayette, and no-name-stops-in-the-road in-between, if you can't find good food in Cajun country well, you just aren't looking. At all. If you like fancy dress up places, you can find that, and you can also find a hole in the wall you wonder how it ever passes the health inspection with some of the best food you ever ate. It's all there. But if you want the best onion rings on the planet, go to Myran's Maison de Manger.

Because Arnaudville is our homebase, we love to eat at Myran's. Their menu boasts "food for the entire family" and that's probably true. From cheeseburgers, to fried (or boiled) shrimp, oysters, poboys, sandwiches, and of course crawfish when in season, Myran's has a very diverse menu.

I'll be honest: if it is crawfish season, I'm getting the crawfish. Every single time. I've eaten crawfish at a lot of places, at at a lot of home boils, and Myran's does the best I've ever had. Consistently. Steve and I went for lunch one Sunday and got the crawfish; it was a beautiful spring day and we sat outside on the deck overlooking the Teche. The sun felt good, the beer was cold, and we struck up conversations with people around us. We each ate 4 pounds of crawfish and they were so good that we went back for dinner and had another 4 pounds each. 

When it isn't crawfish season we usually get burgers and onion rings. The onion rings are legendary. Homemade, perfectly seasoned, with a light crispy batter, they are amazing. One time I stood outside and watched them making onion rings through the big window that faces the parking lot. Big tubs filled
with sliced onions ready to go through the batter and seasoning and into the fryer. If I had any question that that were homemade or not (I didn't), that proved it.

The boiled shrimp are also a great fallback when you can't get crawfish! They are large, perfectly seasoned shrimp and your order comes with corn and boiled potatoes. Pair that with onion rings and your belly is happy!

And don't forget dessert! The soft serve ice cream cones are the perfect ending to your meal

I love Myran's because always run into someone to talk to, whether we already know them or not, it's easy to make friends over good food. If you aren't super hungry, get a cold beer and an appetizer and just sit and watch the bayou. The view is stunning and the service is always friendly.
